The company produced several designs of aircraft engines, including the DK 472. The company's foray into aircraft production did not result in the projected market size and the company exited the field in about 2003.
In 2001, Daiichi Kosho entered into the Japanese music industry through acquiring Japanese record labels Nippon Crown and Tokuma Japan Communications. On April 1, 2010, Nippon Crown and Tokuma Japan Communications formed the music distribution company Crown Tokuma.Aircraft
